The Road Abode has finished renovation! Here you can learn how we built sliding cabinet doors, installed a sink with a pipe running outside the van, and we give an easy alternative Faucet/Pump idea. We show you how we make it feel like home :)

haha he really does actually! He gets so bored being in one place for too long so he's always excited when we go somewhere new or start driving. He is quite the cuddle buddy!

If you rub a candle along the edge of your doors before you put them in it helps to stop them from sticking when you open and close them. Great work...

Thats awesome, so happy its all coming together! Word of advice if you dont mind? You should start tagging/labeling your videos "Van Build" or "Van Build Tour", key words are everything, I'm still small potatoes in the RU-vid world but if I can give any info to folks, I always strive to help all whom I interact w/. GREAT build so far, love it!
@theroadabode
@theroadabode 8 лет назад
Advice is always welcome! We might go ahead and do that. Always looking for better tags. Thanks Tim!

you do the bottom channel first, put glue on the channel then befor clamping you get the top channel place inside down so they mate then clamp stops the guides twisting and warping the place your doors in with the top channel with glue on and push in. the doors act as clamps.

Great idea for the faucet. I'm thinking to do something similar... but even more low tech. I'm gonna use a water bag with a foot pump~^^

Loving your inspirational videos and just subscribed! Thought I might want to replace my stove in 'My Casbah', 17ft Burro travel trailer that I full time in with the one you installed. Yet I felt concerned after reading a review posted in June 25, 2016 on Amazon where the regulator caught on fire. Just wanted to invite you to check into it because it would be tragic if your van caught fire after all the stellar work you've put into it!
@theroadabode
@theroadabode 7 лет назад
Thanks! Oh wow we will definitely look into that but we do use a regulated hose with safety cut-off features instead of trusting the regulator on the unit. Thanks for the heads up :)

Great videos. Can you give some tips about traveling with a dog? Is there any way to safely and adequately cool or heat the van if you leave the dog for short periods?
@theroadabode
@theroadabode 7 лет назад
+H Zane We made a video about taking with our dog if you check our channel. The best way to keep your vehicle cool is by installing an exhaust vent fan to pull the heat out the top. Insulating the walls should also help :)
@nancynightingale6267

The glue thickness was probably off all across, so that certain end/side was tighter. I think I would have gone back to the saw table and taken just a fraction off so that you can lift-n-remove/insert much easier. In the future, you may wanna pull them out, paint 'em, stain 'em, cut out a window section and put in stained glass or etched glass....you never know. So, I would have ensured these sliding doors were easy to lift and remove, not to mention ease of sliding them. There's nuthin more annoying than flighting with cabinet doors of any kind, or drawers. If they don't operate smoothly, I'd have to kill someone !
@theroadabode
@theroadabode 7 лет назад
+Nancy Nightingale haha it turns out we installed them wrong, guess we didn't read the directions. I don't think we noticed that the tracks were different sizes before putting them on. We also must have measured incorrectly which is why they were so tight. They have since been recut and the tracks put back on correctly and now they are perfect :)

Hello does your shower/ kitchen pump run off batteries ?@
@peacekeeper9717
@peacekeeper9717 7 лет назад
Nifty idea guys with the shower. You might consider a road shower . I first saw it online then in person at a gas station. I asked the owner how they liked it and they swore it was the best thing since slice bread. They were off road bikers and used it to shower and clean their gear. It fits on a rack on top of the vehicle. They demonstrated it and it has a lot of power with hot water!. The product must be well as it is backordered until December 20 Im on the list waiting for mine. I'm considering placing two t tubes on my jeep its pricy but I like the hot water ,space saving and pressure for water. The tube holds five gallons of water which is good for 2 or 3 shower .. check it out www.roadshower.com Peace

Peace Keeper We take showers at the gym on the road and only use ours for the sink so it's perfect and the cheapest option but we have seen those shower systems before and they are neat!

Well Guys I went to look at the Westy it looked great on pictures but it had a really bad smell like it had been skunked. So I passed on the Westy. While I am opting to this lifetime journey giving up a hefty portion of material items. This road shower will be my comfort, splurge . I looked at the gym memberships and figured this would be the best option for me,hence I will not have to seek a gym or deal with ongoing fees. Not only that I can use it to clean up gear etc. BTW I'm opting for the 8 gallon shower, I need on demand shower its all I want Shower Power!!!!!!!!Keep on rocking love the videos.

@sunbin64
@sunbin64 6 лет назад
I prefer to cook outside the van. Cooking inside can make your van quite stinky over time. Nice job though.
@theroadabode
@theroadabode 6 лет назад
+sunbin64 our vent was right above the stove so we didn't have much problem venting it out. We tried cooking outside originally and it wasn't comfortable for us in cities, only in places like Forests and parks. Everyone has their own preferences though!
